Recently my chrome extensions have started kind of working but not properly or just not at all, for example adblock plus sometimes works but often doesn't and tab for a cause will open the tfac page, but I won't be able to use any of the links I have made to the other sites, such as youtube or facebook. I looked this up and it seemed to result that my user data had corrupted, and I was advised to delete the Default folder within the User Data folder of my chrome install. This initially worked but after perhaps 10 minutes tfac and adblock had both stopped working properly again. 

I have run malwarebytes to try and find any virus that could be causing this but it didn't find anything

 

I don't know if this is related but I have also had trouble swapping between using headphones and my monitors speakers as well, when looking this up all of the advice said to swap which was the default device, which is what I had been doing anyway  and wasn't working. At first if I started watching a video through one output device and then tried to swap halfway through it would simply carry on playing through the intial one, however now it never plays through the headphones.

This happened to me every time I closed and reopened chrome. No HDD problems, it was a bug in chrome that was preventing it from properly shutting down. I ended up abandoning chrome for Firefox and Opera
